The structural features of (η-Biphenyl)tricarbonylchromium and μ-(η6:η6)-biphenyl-bis(tricarbonylchromium was investigated using density functional theory and natural bonding orbital theory analyses. It was found that the compund has a typical piano-stool coordination about the Cr center and the dihedral angle betwwen the planes of the phenyl rings is 23.55 (5)°. It was also found that the corresponding angle in compound is 0° because the molecule occupies a crystallographic inversion center. The Cr atoms reside on opposite sides of the biphenyl ligand.
